As a part of Campus Sustainability Month this past March, UWindsor’s first-ever Student Sustainability Competition attracted a variety of innovative project proposals—each aimed at building a greener, more sustainable campus.
Taking first place and a $2,500 grand prize was UWinGoGreen, an initiative focused on tech-enabled sustainability submitted by Elnaz Rezaee, PhD candidate in Industrial Engineering, and Samira Narimannejad, PhD Candidate in Environmental Engineering.
